Low income school?
No problem.
Until recently, I did not like low income schools. I just taught they were a nuisance. How wrong! Why would anyone send their children to a mushroom school? Why not just take the child to a to a public school?
I guess I forgot.... That in my secondary school, a public school (in a low income community), there were nothing less than 80 of us in a class per time. I remember that at a time we were about 120 in a class.
My younger sister too was in a class of about 150. Some of her classmates sat on the floor. The classrooms were always overcrowded. The teachers overworked.
The "mushroom" schools serve the community. Because of such schools, some children will be literate, some will get the opportunity to dream big.
The stats says that there are 13.2 million children out of school in Nigeria, making us the country with the highest number of out of school children. These low income schools are the Champions. The data would have been worse than it is.
I choose to see with new eyes, the low income schools, not too far from my house. I choose to see with new eyes the value they give.
I choose to empower such schools by doing all I can to help them give value.
I believe in the power of literacy, so I am helping low income schools set up their school/classroom library at budget friendly rates.
The picture below is a newly set up library for a low income school. On this shelf, there are over 100 books gotten for less than 40,000 naira. The children get to explore the world even if they cannot afford the luxury of touring the world YET.
